I haven't tried this particular monitor, but if you're okay with a curved monitor there is an AOC monitor with similar specs for the same price that was recently reviewed by LTT that is a good choice. I had tried the AOC and definitely recommend for the price.

Edit: Both seem to be fairly good choices though.
Same, so close.
if this monitor was 32" I'd have bought a few already.
I recently got my hands on the AOC CQ27G1. 27", 1440p, 144hz, VA panel. $250. Without considering the price, this monitor is great. With considering price, this monitor is fucking amazing.

Is this AOC monitor even comparable to this? It's a little bit cheaper, but uses a curved VA panel.

While this is available for shipping (unlike most MicroCenter deals), shipping ain't free (or cheap).
If you don't have a nearby MicroCenter, Amazon has it for $240.82 and free shipping (Prime or not).
Is there a reason to buy this over the AOC CQ27G1?

AOC CQ27G1 27" Curved Frameless... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V39QHMY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I've been eyeing this and this
The first one is what I'll probably get when it goes back down to that 250 range. Especially if Best Buy keeps the $50 Gift Card with it.
It was indeed $250 before Amazon stopped selling it today. Current price is from 3rd party.
Yeah I jumped on that one vs. the XT cause it was like $100-150 less. I understand it can be flashed to operate at closer to an XT level and maintain decent thermals.
I have this monitor on order but it's not yet shipped. Having second thoughts on VA and such. Not too sure what's best for my use case but it seems like probably IPS.
AOC CQ27G1
I can vouch for this one. I came from a 5 ms, 60hz, 24" IPS panel to this and am very happy with my purchase for $250. (G-Sync works just fine on my 2070 Super)

​
what about this one, i heard a lot of bad things about AOC tho
if that were the case, I would personally get two of these monitors:

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-CQ27G1-DisplayPort-Adjustable-Zero-Bright/dp/B07V39QHMY
I have this one in the 32 inch variant and it's fucking great
It is 1440p144hz
https://www.amazon.com/AOC-CQ27G1-DisplayPort-Adjustable-Zero-Bright/dp/B07V39QHMY
Currently trying to decide between two 1440p 144hz monitors.
The VIOTEK seems to be the better choice, at less of a cost, includes crosshairs(?), and speakers (I know this is useless, but I currently only use headphones, so it would be nice to have some, even shitty ones.) The AOC is a brand I know, and according to CamelCamelCamel it's at a good price for what it could be right now.
Any opinions?
Good to hear. Yeah, it's this monitor I'm thinking of buying. Thanks for your help!
It can be that you are looking at monitors with IPS panels.
Here is a couple...

Check out this one from AOC. Their 24" 1080p 144Hz one, the AOC C24G1, got rave reviews, so I was disappointed to find out that they didn't have a 27" 1440p 144Hz one. Ultimately I went with the Dell S2719DGF. But that was a couple of months ago, and it looks like AOC finally came out with the aforementioned model. Smashing price.
I think this is a VA, correct? Would this be a good fit for that GPU?

Something like that, as for the monitor:

Seems to be sold out everywhere, though. Try to find a sale.
And yes, you should OC, free performance. For the CPU you can auto OC using Ryzen Master, GPU can be OCed with MSI Afterburner/EVGA Precision X1.
LTT recently featured this one in a review video recently for the "cheapest 1440p 144hz on Amazon" (video here).

this AOC monitor that jist came out recently is getting a bunch of good reviews and is $279.
i have the msi optix mag27cq and have really liked it. i got it off massdrop a year or so ago for $379, and since they updated that line to the mpg27cq, the mag seems to hover around that $370-something price point fairly often.
i have an old 1080p, 60hz monitor from when i first got my pc that i use as my second monitor, but im thinking I'll probably upgrade it to that AOC one at some point.
Take a look at AOC. I got their 32" 1440p 144hz 1ms curved monitor for $329. Amazing monitor and an amazing deal. I was skeptical of the brand at first but after a lot of research they are great and are becoming very highly regarded. Asus and MSI's monitor offerings are just flat out overpriced at this point.
The 27" version is $279 and has the exact same specs of the MSI monitor you had picked. It also has better reviews.
AOC CQ27G1 27" Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor QHD/2K, 1ms, 144Hz, FreeSync, DisplayPort/HDMI/VGA, Height Adjustable, 3-Year Zero-Bright Dot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V39QHMY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_84RBDb2E2WEY0
Hmmm.. it was 279 before, must have sold out
There's another great deal for anyone looking at 1440p 144hz monitors here. The screen is smaller (more pixel density), the brightness is lower and the response time is faster. All for $60 less than the one in the post and it isn't even on sale.
Ehh, 24" is kinda small for 1440p, Also TN which I'm not a fan of.
Much about monitor choice boils down to personal preference. For example the CQ27G1 is only $240 on amazon rn and is larger, VA for deeper blacks, and curved (which I prefer).
